Pectin Lyase Pnl

This Pectin Lyase is from the organism Paenibacillus amylolyticus . Pnl cleaves at methylated sites of pectin or homogalacturonan substrates at high affinity [1]. Used in conjuction with Pectin lyases PelB and PelC, pectin can be effectively cleaved [1]. A hexa-histidine tag was added to the C-terminus of the coding sequence for nickel affinity purification.

For building thermostable variants of this Pnl enzyme we first did homology modelling as the crystal structure has not been determined.

Figure 1: Homology modelling of Pnl from P. amylolyticus . The protein structure was done using iTASSER [2] and SWISS-Model [3]. The two structures were then aligned and compared. A more in depth analysis can be found on our webpage.
